Whole Grain Spaghetti Recipe with Bacon and Kale

30/01/2018 by Julie Karla Leave a Comment

This whole grain spaghetti recipe with bacon and kale is a truly Nordic inspired dish, because here in Denmark and the Nordic countries in general, we LOVE our whole grains. And in Denmark especially rye!Whole Grain Spaghetti Recipe

Our darling RYE

Maybe you’ve heard of the Danish rye bread, which is sour dough bread and which we normally eat together with different toppings for lunch but also breakfast and dinner sometimes, when dinner needs to be ready fast.

In this recipe, I’ve used rye spaghetti. But if you can’t get a hold of it, just substitute with another whole grain version like for example spelt or whole wheat. That works just fine.Whole Grain Spaghetti Recipe with Bacon and Kale

Whole grain spaghetti, whole grain tortilla, pizza…

As I aso talked a bit about in this post with my chicken and cheese quesadillas you can get so many products in a whole grain version here in Denmark. And I’m glad because dietary fibres are so important for us and our health. So every time I make for example homemade pizza or pita bread I always sneak in a little extra whole grain flour or add some oats or rye flakes. For the taste but indeed also for the health benefits.

Ingredients

  • 250 gr (8.8 oz) rye spaghetti (or another whole grain pasta)
